Chapter Eight
Lita's POV
Doctor Throne walked in with Lita's chart in hand. "Well you're looking better, you can probably be home by tomorrow." He said as Matt moved out of the way so he could check Lita's pulse and IV. "Good, good." he said scribbling on his chart. He looked at his watch then back at the foursome. "I'm afraid visiting hours are over, let's let Lita get her rest, hmm?" her said.
"We'll come by and see you tomorrow when you get back to the hotel." Hunter said putting an arm around Chyna and they both left saying good-bye. Jeff told her he'd also see her tomorrow then told Matt he'd wait for him outside. Trusting that Matt would leave and sensing they wanted a few minutes alone Doctor Thorne left to check on his other patients.
"I wanted to thank you especially Matt, if it weren't for you, I don't know where I'd be right now." Lita said holding onto his hand and trying to hold back tears. "I'm just so glad that I could help. I care about you Lita." he confessed. "I care about you to Matt." she replied and he smiled widely. He leaned down and kissed her lightly on the cheek, both still smiling. "How about I come pick you up tomorrow and help you get settled in the hotel?" He asked hopefully. "That would be great." She replied. "Good, then I'll see you tomorrow." he said letting go of her hand and making his way to the door, his gaze never leaving her. "Yeah, tomorrow." She replied and he was out the door.
She sighed happily and snuggled deeper into the bed. 'Just yesterday I didn't think I would ever get away from Essa, and now for probably the first time in my life, I'm truly in love...' She thought just before falling into a deep sleep filled with familiar dreams of love, except this time, she had a face to accompany it.
10:00 AM
Lita's Hotel Room, The Next Day
Matt held Lita's overnight bag in one hand and supported her with the other. She was having some bad side affects from the pain pills the doctor had given her. He led her over to the couch where she gratefully sat down, holding her side and breathing hard. Matt set her bag down and went to get her a glass of water, giving her a worried look as he offered it to her. She half smiled taking the glass, but she did not drink.
When she did catch her breath, she drank half the glass before putting it down and leaning back in the couch. Matt looked at her flushed face and tired features. "Maybe we should go back to the hospital, you don't look good." He said and she opened her eyes, looking at him. "I'll be okay, I'm probably just tired." She answered. "Well then you should sleep." He said and held out his hand for her. "In a minute, I'm to tired to move." She said and he gave her a sly smile before picking her up like a baby making his way to her bedroom. Lita let out a surprised gasp and held on to him. He gently laid her down on the bed before covering her up with a sheet and blanket.
Before he left to let her get some rest she grabbed onto his arm. He turned back and gave her a questioning look. "Thank you." She said simply and smiled. "You're very welcome Lita." He replied smiling. He leaned down to give her another kiss on the cheek but when he started to pull back she held onto him, hugging him. He smiled happily and hugged her back when there was a knock on the door.
They let each other go, reluctantly. He pushed her hair out of her eyes, still smiling, before going to answer the door. Looking through the spy hole to see that it was Hunter and Chyna, he opened the door. "Hey guy's what's up?" He asked moving aside to let them in. "Not much, is Lita sleeping?" Chyna asked Matt. "No, just laying down." He answered and they followed him to Lita's bedroom where she was sitting up, her legs crossed. "Hey" she said smiling at them. "How you feeling?" Hunter asked. "Much better, thanks." she replied.
"We just came by to see how you were, we should go and let you rest." Chyna said and Hunter, giving Chyna a confused look, opened his mouth to say something but one look from Chyna shut him up and he agreed. They said good- bye then followed Matt out to the living room and towards the door. Hunter walked out first but before Chyna was out the door she turned and faced Matt with a knowing smile. "Good luck Matt, you two make a cute couple." She said simply and Matt just watched as she made her way out the door her and Hunter hand in hand walking down the hall.
'How did she…?' he thought then shook his head, not even trying to figure out Chyna.
As Matt made his way back into Lita's room he saw that she had laid back down and was asleep. He watched her a few moments more, smiling, before making his way out of the room. Before he closed the door behind him he heard Lita, barely, call out his name. "Yes?" he asked. She hesitated before continuing. "You won't leave, will you?" she asked shyly. His smiled widen and she immediately felt stupid, thinking he was laughing at her. "Of course not, I'll have some lunch ready when you wake up." He answered, surprising and delighting her. Her smiled matched his and he blew her a kiss before softly closing the door.
3:30 PM
Hotel Room Later That Day.
Lita stretched out in bed, feeling a hundred present better. Getting a good sleep without doctors coming in and out of her room helped a lot. She sat up in bed and looked at the clock next to her. It read 3:34. She was surprised at how long she slept. She pushed back the sheets and smoothed down her wrinkled clothes as best she could before going out in search of Matt.
When she walked out she noticed someone had cleaned up the kitchen a little and the TV was on with the volume turn down but there was no sign of Matt. She walked through the rest of the hotel room but he wasn't there. Feeling down when she realized he had left she sat on the couch and turned up the TV.
A few minutes later Matt walked in with his hands full of bags. "Hey, you're up, just in time." he said smiling, setting the bags down on the table. "What's all this?" she asked walking up to him. "I said I'd have lunch ready when you got up right? You didn't think I was actually gonna cook did you? I don't want you to go back to the hospital for food poisoning Lita, you just got out." he said taking the Chinese food out of the bags while Lita laughed.
Just when they had all the food out the phone rang. Lita sighed, answering it. "Hello?....Carla! Hey...cómo téngale sido?.....Oh yo?....La multa...really....I tiene que ahora ir sin embargo, llamada de I voluntad usted más adelante esta noche ok ?....Adios." she said hanging up and immediately burst out laughing at Matt's confused face. "My cousin Carla, She heard what happen and want to see how I was." Lita explained. "Oh, that was nice. Want to watch some TV while we eat?" Matt suggested. "Okay." Lita answered and they made they're way over to the couch.
After finishing their lunch Matt walked out of the room, a sly smile on his face. Lita stayed on the couch sipping the water Matt had brought her when she heard him come up from behind her. She put down her glass on the table and turned around to see he was plugging in a CD player. She gave him a questioning look but he just smiled and held his hand out for her simply saying "Dance with me." She always felt self-conscious dancing around other people even though she knew she was a great dancer, but looking in his eyes she knew she couldn't deny him anything. She smiled taking his hand as he pulled her easily into his embrace. She listened to the lyrics of the music as it filled the room and he brought her closer to him, holding her tightly but gently as she rested her head on his shoulder.
When the visions around you
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surrounds you
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength
I'll give you hope
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call
When standing here all alone
And I will take you in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
`Til the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
I've loved you forever
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow
Forever has now begun
Earlier she had made him promise that if she trusted him he would never hurt her, in more ways than one. He had assured her then that he wouldn't but she knew this was his way of sealing the promise. She sighed happily and hugged him closer to her.
Just close your eyes each loving day
And know this feeling won't go away
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
Over and over I thought
When I hear you call
Without you in my life baby
I just wouldn't be living at all
She again found herself trying to hold back tears, she never thought a love like this could exist, and even if it did she was sure no one could love her this way, or vice versa for that matter, but here she was, loving him and being loved just the same.
And I will take you in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
`Til the day my life is through
This I promise you
Matt had started rubbing her back up and down and she let the tears fall silently holding onto him as if assuring herself that he was really there, as if he might disappear if she didn't.
Just close your eyes each loving day
And know this feeling won't go away
Till the day my life is through
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Ooh I promise you…
The song ended and he brought her face in front of his, wiping her tears away. "I love you Lita." He said kissing her. "I love you too Matt, so much." She said hugging him and he hugged her back breathing in the scent of her, breathing in her.
Notes: And that's it folks. I don't pirticalily like BSB but I heard the song and that's where I got the idea for this story so it would but silly to leave it out. Hope you liked it, review and tell me what you think.
